JUVENTUS intend to build on their coup of Cristiano Ronaldo by signing Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba and Real Madrid defender Marcelo, according to reports in Italy.

Pogba’s relationship with Jose Mourinho at Manchester United has become increasingly strained and the Frenchman has done little over the past few weeks to suggest his long-term future remains at Old Trafford.

In a recent interview, he said: “My future right now is with Manchester.

“I have a contract. Currently, I play there, but who knows what will happen in the next couple of months.”

Reports emerged last weekend suggesting United would be open to sanctioning a return to Juve for Pogba in exchange for Paulo Dybala in January.
